    If compound interest for second year on a certain sum at 10% p.a. is Rs. 132, the principal is,

    A)  Rs. 600

    B)  Rs. 1000

    C)  Rs. 1100

    D)         Rs. 1200

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Let principal = Rs. 100 Amount after two years \[=100\times {{\left( \frac{11}{10} \right)}^{2}}=Rs.\,\,121\] \[\therefore \] Compound interest for second year = Rs. 121 ? Rs. 110 = Rs. 11 But actual compound interest for second year = Rs. 132 (i.e. 12 times of Rs. 11) \[\therefore \] \[\text{Principal=12}\times \text{Rs}\text{.}\,\text{100=Rs}\text{.}\,\text{1200}\]
